LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) --It's been 19 years since Willie Burks was stabbed to death in Little Rock. Burks was found unresponsive in his cab. He was a 24 year veteran driver for the Black and White Cab Company.

The 64-year-old, a father of five, was a man striving to make an honest living.

His son Bryan Burks says, "A lot of people loved him.

The streets of Little Rock were his work. He knew them well and his customers came from all walks of life.

Bryan says safety wasn't a concern but he still carried a weapon.

He explains, "Many people carry or have guns in their home. It's not that they are afraid; it's just that they wanna be prepared in case."
